Question

for equation solve for x given 0

Answer 1

x=2.61 radians

Explanation

$2\cos (x)+\sqrt[]{3}=0$

Step 1

Let's isolate x

a)

$\begin{gathered} 2\cos (x)+\sqrt[]{3}=0 \\ \text{subtract }\sqrt[]{3}\text{ in both sides} \\ 2\cos (x)+\sqrt[]{3}-\sqrt[]{3}=0-\sqrt[]{3} \\ 2\cos (x)=-\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}$

Step 2

b) now, divide both sides by 2

$\begin{gathered} 2\cos (x)=-\sqrt[]{3} \\ \text{divide both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2\cos(x)}{2}=\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ \cos (x)=\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ \end{gathered}$

Step 3

c) finally,Inverse cosine in both sides ( remember we are looking for an angle)

$\begin{gathered} \cos (x)=\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ \text{ Inverse cosine in both sides} \\ \cos ^{-1}(\cos (x))=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) \\ x=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) \\ x=\cos ^{-1}(-0.86) \\ x=2.61\text{ radians} \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

x=2.61 radians
